American Donald Judd (1928-1994) is considered one of the most important 20th-century artists the world over. He came to fame in the 1960s as one of the protagonists of Minimal Art but expanded his oeuvre to include the areas of architecture and design. Yet only a few people are aware that Donald Judd also applied himself intensively to furniture design.

For the first time in the context of an interdisciplinary institution, Die Neue Sammlung – The International Design Museum Munich – is showing a focused selection of the furniture Judd conceived, doing so within a setting of important museum collections on the history of modern art and design.
